Neil Warnock isn't bothered about what Fulham do in their last two games and is sticking to the mantra that two wins will see Cardiff City promoted.

The Bluebirds fell to a 3-1 defeat at Derby County on Tuesday night, meaning Slavisa Jokanovic's side are just a point behind with only two games remaining in the Championship season.

Fulham can pile on the pressure with victory over already-relegated Sunderland on Friday night at Craven Cottage, with three points taking them above Cardiff once again with Warnock's side travelling to Hull City on Saturday.

Two wins will still see the Welsh side promoted, and their manager is sticking to that and insisted he isn't bothered what the Cottagers do - Cardiff have to win their final games to see them up.

When asked if Sunderland can go to Fulham and win, he said: "Not really no. I'd like to think there was hope. I think Chris (Coleman) will be glad when the season ends. You don't really want to be going to Fulham when you've already been relegated.

"They've got some young kids at Sunderland who might get a run out, but it's not about goal difference. In a way, I know it sounds silly, but we know what we've got to do. There's no two ways about it. We've got to win two games."

Sunderland were the last side to beat Fulham in the league, with that 1-0 victory at the Stadium of Light back in December marking the start of a 22-game unbeaten run that has taken the side from mid-table right to the cusp of automatic promotion.

But it's a game Warnock won't be watching, with 'The Queen' offering a better night's entertainment for the 69-year-old.

"No [I won't be watching the game]. I watched the Brentford game. They should've had a penalty, they should have scored a good goal.

"I might watch something like the Queen. I've recorded it on Netlflix. So I might watch two or three of them. So I don't think there'll be anything in that respect.

"Birmingham won't be easy. You just don't know in this league do you. Anybody can beat anyone else. Burton battered Derby didn't they. That's why I love the league really because you don't know what's around the corner."
